Step into the colorful world of queer flagging on this episode of By the Bi. Angela and Bradford explore the intricate and historical art of flagging, a coded language of colors and patterns used within the LGBTQ+ community to express identity, desires, and boundaries. Originating in the underground scenes of the 1970s, flagging has evolved from the traditional hanky codes to include contemporary twists like accessories and digital emojis.

This episode delves into how flagging serves not just as personal expression but as a vital form of silent dialogue that fosters community and understanding. Whether it’s a bandana, a piece of jewelry, or a chosen emoji, each element holds a story and a signal. Join us as we unravel these vibrant signals, learning how to read and respect the nuanced languages of flagging that continue to shape connections and culture within the queer community.

Tune in and discover the layers of meaning wrapped in the simple elegance of colors with By the Bi. Whether you’re familiar with flagging or just curious about its symbols, this discussion promises to enlighten and inspire deeper appreciation for this unique form of communication.
